Press Release Summary: Author and energy pundit Mark Paul provides a sustainable energy roadmap for either party to embrace. This Presidential Speech could very well change the way the United States thinks about and works toward energy independence.
Press Release Body: Portland, OR, September 03, 2008 -- As Americans face triple-digit gas price inflation and Congress goes on recess without an energy strategy, we are all starting to question the leadership of this country. Author Mark Paul has crafted a Presidential Speech that provides a unique bi-partisan solution that could galvanize the American people.
\"The United States is getting ready to enter into an energy-led economic calamity in a very short time,\" says Michael Coates, Economic & Business Strategist. \"If we take the actions defined in this speech, and the strategies defined in the book from which it is excerpted, we could become an energy / technology exporter and prevent the impending economic disaster.\"
Since the first OPEC-led oil embargo of 1973, this country has not marshaled its considerable resources to break our dependence on foreign oil. Instead we have responded to crisis after crisis, without a comprehensive energy strategy. For too long, our nation\'s leaders have played politics, gambling our children\'s futures. Insufficient investments have been made in alternative fuels, and political power has held sway of renewable power. As a result, our dependence on foreign oil has increased from 25% in 1973 to over 60% today. No strategy = no concerted actions = no results.
The \"Presidential Speech I\'d Like to Hear\" has been excerpted from the book \"The 21st Century Energy Initiative (How to Solve our Energy Problems, Once and For All)\". Both offer a powerful strategy to break our cycle of addiction and replace it with low-carbon solutions. However, both will take bold actions.
\"Mark has captured the essence of what has held back this country\'s progress in energy self-reliance,\" says Mark Alan Effinger, CEO of ExitPath Corporation. \"I believe a strong political leader could easily take Mark\'s new book, including the Presidential Speech, as their new energy-independence bible.
The Speech presents, in clear, easy to follow terms, the high-level thinking necessary to provide a roadmap to energy independence. It outlines a bi-partisan solution that embodies American ingenuity, know-how and can-do attitude. Though the book will likely ruffle some feathers, Mr. Paul feels this is the price of true progress and survival.
\"This Presidential Speech and book have been on the back of my mind since 1973,\" says Mark Paul, CEO of NXergy, Inc., a Renewable Energy Technology Accelerator. \"Now that I am focused on innovating our way out of this grand challenge, I will be using this book as systematic guide for our new Accelerator. I am so committed to this, I am offering this eBook for a contribution of only $2.\"
